ET can confirm that Michael Jackson will be buried at 7 p.m. on September 3.

He will be interred at Holly Terrace in the Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA. The King of Pop was originally to be buried on what was to be his 51st birthday, Saturday, August 29.

Following two months of planning, Michael Jackson will finally be laid to rest on Thursday evening in California's legendary Forest Lawn Glendale where he is expected to be interred in a hidden monument in a mausoleum made of marble and mortar.

The private memorial for family and friends will reportedly find the "King of Pop" entombed beside his childhood idols, Walt Disney and Larry of the 'Three Stooges.'

"The family believed this is what Michael would have wanted," a source close to the family told the New York Post.

While the iconic singer expected to be honored in the highest regard, including a performance by soul legend Aretha Franklin, an appearance by mentor and dear friend Diana Ross, and 12 burial spaces being purchased, Jackson's mother, Katherine, requested the judge to sign off on the funeral expenses.

This morning Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff granted the current administrators of Jackson's estate to pay for Jackson's funeral and interment. The Associated Press reported that no one contested who would pay the costs, however Beckloff expressed concerns about whether Jackson's estate could afford it.

The current attorney for the administrators of Jackson's estate, Jeryll Cohen, stated that the estate had enough funds to cover funeral services in full. "The expenses are extraordinary, however, Michael Jackson was extraordinary," she said.

As for the increased security of the 13th Century Italian patterned cemetery, observers can expect the streets surrounding Forest Lawn to be closed to the public 24 hours prior to service, in addition to restricted airspace over the venue.

The multiple Grammy Award-winner's three children Prince Michael, Paris, and Blanket are all expected to place written letters alongside his signature white glove that read, "Daddy, we love you, we miss you," said Jackson's brother, Marlon.
